Digital BW, The Print

Julian,

Very nice shot!

I have this one image that I used for all my coating trials using Piezo inks
and the Piezo driver. I printed on the Museo using the Epson Photo Paper
profile. Was last summer with the previous version of the Piezo software.
Other than being a bit weaker in the blacks than the H. papers I don't see
any difference. However, paper lots and curves do change.

You might want to start with a normal print, coat that and see where you
want to go. It is good to have a reference to an uncoated print.

Martin
